It was with much sadness that fans of Alan Rickman learned of his passing last week. But as always, the fan community has channeled these feelings into creating art dedicated to preserving the memory of the great artist’s vast career in movies.
Whether you remember him as Hans Gruber, Snape, or one of his many other terrific characters, Alan Rickman live on our hearts forever. Accio, tissues.
Snape and Lily art by CrystallizedTwilight/deviantart
Snape is undountedly one of Alan Rickman’s most popular and legendary roles, and this beautifully designed Harry Potter art pays tribute to the Half-Blood Prince’s love for Lily Potter.
Snape statuette by Sempra Studios
Another Snape tribute, this little plaster statuette and gets every detail just right, even at a mere 4-inches-by-3-inches.

Die Hard cookies art by Ryan Savas
This digital work of art brings Die Hard to life in cookies. Now that’s one reboot I’d love to see. (But if only these were real cookies…)

Sweet chibi artwork of Galaxy Quest characters using pen and copic markers. By Grabthar’s Hammer, it’s adorable!
